Amazing Horse Carriage Tour with teenagers - Marika and her horse (Mario) were amazing. We really enjoyed the 45 min tour of Lucca Old Town.
As a family with teenagers, we wanted to do a tour of Lucca to understand it’s history, but the kids didn’t fancy a 2 hr walking tour - Marika’s tour was absolutely the best option we could have chosen. Personal, informative, educational and fun! Mario (the beautiful and clearly very well looked after horse) knows exactly where to go and the bond between him and Marika was incredible. Mario even knows where to stop along the route to get a treat from some of the local shopkeepers - he just sticks his head in the door!!
A fabulous tour, providing great value. Would highly recommend.

Highlight of our trip - We had the best time with Marika and Mario, it was definitely the highlight of our stay in Lucca. Marika was so friendly and the tour was so interesting and informative. She helped us arrange to stow my mothers' wheelchair with a cafe at the start of the tour, nothing was a problem. Marika and Mario are so well known in Lucca that locals greet them by name and Mario knows just which shops to stop at for a treat! It's good to do the tour at anytime in your visit but if you do it early on it gives you a great feel for the city and it's history.

Don't miss Marika and Luigi! - Marika and Luigi are a staple in Lucca Centro Storico. Luigi knows all the shops that will give him a carrot or other treat on their route. Marika gives an excellent tour of the center with historic facts that even many locals don't know. It's a charming way to experience this wonderful town.

Fantastic experience - One of the highlights of our 2 week trip in Lucca was this carriage ride! Marika took us to parts of the city we hadn’t seen and gave fascinating history of not only buildings but some local lore and customs. Luigi was a pro and thrilled everyone with his relationships to some shop owners. Truly enjoyable. Ciao, Maria and Luigi. Well done! Hope to visit again. 🩷

An absolute must - A brilliant tour round Lucca on a horse drawn carriage- so much history shared and some surprises along the way. One of the best 40 minutes of our holiday.

An enchanting experience! - Highly recommend this tour. Marika is a real professional. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. A pleasure to work with. Her relationship with Luigi, the horse was impressive.
We were 3 seniors 94 and 74. We would not have been able to see and experience the wonderful sights of Lucca without her. Real value for money.

Relaxing horse and cart tour of Lucca - Marika and her horse Mario are amazing. The relaxing and informative tour of Lucca should be at the top of you list of things to do. We wish we could have spent hours in their company as 70 minutes was far too short. This is a must do experience in Lucca, just look them up and enjoy. Thank you so much Marika and Mario, we hope to see you again soon.
